It show you how many gallons you have left until empty. Right now your dash should show how many miles to empty.

Yikes! ECU Reset? Scary!

What about the developer mode login?
Is that here in this procedure?
Or in other words, if I get an expensive bottle of tequila,
go see my fav indy guy and pour him some shots, will these instructions be complete
enough that we'll be able to do it?

Also, anyone have the link for setting up the chirp?

Thanks again Karo, I did it today, see att:

BTW came across freakin' rain sensor setting, no option to disable, just to single (I think for one with just light sensor) and combined. Not sure if light sensor will work if I set for single but will try later. First will see if changing windshield color will do any better.

If you read any of the thread you would see they are trying to get it to say how many gallons to empty.

Maybe you should put some more effort in and read the 2 other posts on the second page so you dont look like an idiot taking a picture of the factory range screen on the dashboard and then posting it to a thread that says "Gas tank MOD with Star" and asking if this is what they are talking about.

Hey guys, this is how the menu looks for the pre-facelift models. It's the similar process but instead you change these.





Searching for tire loss warner. I believe I did two versions.

You need something like this http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/100425350.html

Software is included on hard drive, only thing you have to buy is USB to RS232 or PCMCIA to RS232 adapter. I got this one and works perfect http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...3829&CatId=464

I think I may have found it, but only in simulation. Still have to try it on my car and report back.
